Server response begins with 2 "strange" characters before the DOCTYPE declaration (U+02C7 and U+02DB)
where did that came from? – Tom 2012-04-21 22:00:38
just erased the doctype but i'm getting the same error – Tom 2012-04-21 22:02:06
They are still there - either your text editor or the server itself must be adding them... try uploading the same file to a different server or writing a new file with a different editor – giorgiga 2012-04-21 22:06:32
I'd start by adding in all the necessary tags like a doctype and a closing head tag. – j08691 2012-04-21 21:44:54
@j08691 didn 't help – Tom 2012-04-21 21:52:55
